It tantalises the palate with a well-rounded body, velvety tannins and a balanced acidity, promising complexity and longevity.

Perfect for pairing with audacious meat dishes, it's an unmatched delight for wine aficionados.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of red cherries fused with hints of pine forest and wet earth. The up-front fruit flavours are at the same time silky smooth, punctuated by forest fruits and delicate nuances of clove and peppers. A great all-round wine to accompany diverse foods, ready for drinking although it will repay keeping in bottle for another 3 or 4 years.
